Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will be the keynote speaker at the Sioux City annual Chamber of Commerce dinner in October.

Jim Jensen, the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce CEO, says Bush will share his perspective on the key challenges facing the country. The speech will be titled "America's Promise in Uncertain Times."

The Sioux City Journal reports Jensen announced Bush as the annual event's speaker on Tuesday.

Bush, a Republican, has recently said the willingness to compromise that allowed his father President George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan to succeed no longer exists in Washington. He holds both parties responsible.

He says the tone of the Republican Party often concerns him because it doesn't allow for disagreement among members.
